Forks

Bringing a town together -- with a fork in the road.

A six-foot-tall fork appeared in Carlsbad, California, at the
intersection of Levante Street and Anillo Way on Tuesday. The unnamed
artist is a 62-year-old retired teacher who said he was impressed by the
joke in The Muppet Movie in which Kermit and Fozzie encounter a
giant silverware fork when they are looking for a fork in the road.

Carlsbad residents got a kick out of the sculpture, but a city crew
removed it on Wednesday. You might say they got the fork out of there.
Another resident erected a sign in its places that say "Why the fork
not?" which the city also removed. Then residents then began taping
real, normal-sized forks to a nearby sign. A spokesperson for the city
said the sculpture is a code violation. (via Fark)
